Something is amiss in the kingdom of Lorenth. During one of the
expansion missions, the humans determine they are no longer alone
in the world as they once thought. In fact, the men are viciously
attacked by the elves of IlluDar. Sentient, magically adept
dragons, dwarves, elemental races, treants, dryads, sprites, ice
elves, and woodland elves compose the fae races that for
generations have lived in a silent pact with the humans, never
revealing their presence until the humans breached their borders.
Meanwhile, a restless and vile taint seeks a vessel to dominate-a
living corruption spawned from the conflict between the three
imprisoned deities: Sarik, Ethoni, and Deimar. This taint finds
such a vessel in Seneschal Dean-second in command of the human
armies of Lorenth, led by the noble priest-king, Arimas. Age-old
prophecies entwine around events leading to the beginning of the
time of silence-the time when the Tear of Deimar made its call,
searching for the promised Lightbringer who must eventually stand
to face the Seed of Corruption and right the balance of Caliyon for
good. An unlikely combination of warriors unites to defeat the
mysterious threat.
The soul stealer has risen and the fate of the infant Lightbringer
now hangs in the balance. The human race finds itself oppressed by
the former Lorenthian seneschal as his powers grow into the realm
of necromancy. Skeletal hordes, soul bound revenants, ghasts,
wights, and even bone dragons heed the call of the soul stealer as
his minions strike fear into the hearts of human and fae alike.
Even hope becomes threatened as the fae races remain indecisive
about how to act in response to the prophecies of old. Yet hope is
not lost... the infant Lightbringer must live to stand against the
evil that rages across the land, even as the balance of creation
begins to shift. Some of the fae have chosen to indulge themselves
in the human emotions of hope as the light of prophecy begins to
illuminate the answer to the dilemma of the soul stealer. Yet is
this new enlightenment really the only course of action left to the
living races of Caliyon? Some fear the cost of victory may be too
high a price to pay...
"Scientists have developed a substance that can destroy crops
across America. Your mission, Mr. Horani, is to deliver it into the
hands of al-Quaida." So begins "Shibli" -- a riveting political
thriller by author Paul Brooks. A former Navy SEAL with a sterling
record, Shibli Horani returns to civilian life in Texas. In the
wake of 9/11, with customers shunning Arab-American businesses, he
is struggling to keep the family company afloat while caring for
his widowed mother. Shibli's military prowess and fluency in Arabic
have come to the attention of the ICTA, a shadowy antiterrorist
organization that offers him $1.5 million for a brief job as a
courier. Desperate for money and eager to serve his country again,
he accepts and soon finds he is in way over his head. His new
employers have no respect for the laws of civilized society and no
qualms in trampling the U.S. constitution or in killing innocent
people. Trapped in a perilous arena of global espionage and
political intrigue, Shibli must embark on a dangerous odyssey that
takes him halfway around the world. With the CIA, the Israeli
MOSSAD, and a band of al-Qaida fanatics all wanting him dead, he
must use his quick thinking, linguistic skills, and military
training to stay alive. Worse than the physical danger is the
psychological conflict that arises when Shibli learns the true
extent of the evil he has enabled. Against overwhelming odds and at
the risk of everything, including his own life and the life of the
woman he has come to love, he must violently oppose it.
"Some houses have all the luck Concord's Old Manse Built for a
minister rich only in faith, in love for his family and for his
country; occupied for many years by a stern Calvinist minister who
yet made it a sanctuary to Ralph Waldo Emerson; happiest home to
Nathaniel Hawthorne and his bride; seat of learning for a scholarly
retired minister and his brilliant wife; summer home to an
ebullient artist, and now a museum showing signs of its every
occupant. What a fascinating house is Concord's Old Manse I would
like to wrap my arms around it. Paul Brooks has told its story in
clear and graceful prose, bringing the reader as a welcome guest to
each of the people to whom the Old Manse was home." -David Little

Craig Waddell presents essays investigating Rachel Carson's
influential 1962 book, "Silent Spring." In his foreword, Paul
Brooks, Carson's editor at Houghton Mifflin, describes the process
that resulted in "Silent Spring." In an afterword, Linda Lear,
Carson's recent biographer, recalls the end of Carson's life and
outlines the attention that Carson's book and Carson herself
received from scholars and biographers, attention that focused so
minutely on her life that it detracted from a focus on her work.
The foreword by Brooks and the afterword by Lear frame this
exploration within the context of Carson's life and work.
Contributors are Edward P. J. Corbett, Carol B, Gartner, Cheryll
Glotfelty, Randy Harris, M. Jimmie Killingsworth, Linda Lear, Ralph
H. Lutts, Christine Oravec, Jacqueline S. Palmer, Markus J.
Peterson, Tarla Rai Peterson, and Craig Waddell. Together, these
essays explore "Silent Spring"'s""effectiveness in conveying its
disturbing message and the rhetorical strategies that helped create
its wide influence. ""
